Ayurveda to help you to take control of your own health & well-being, to heal your body naturally, enabling you to live a longer, happier, healthier life. Why holistic therapies? Well because it has been holistic treatments that have helped me heal when my health and well-being hasn't been what it should be. Whilst working as an EMT (Emergency medical technician) I injured my back and it was acupu
ncture, McTimoney and reflexology that helped me heal. Whilst pharmaceutical medicine kept the pain at pay it was to a point that it didn't allow me a quality of life. Sadly, I had to retire from the job I loved but I found a way to be able to manage my injury without filling my body with pills. Fast forward a few years and I once again found myself in a place where my health was affecting my quality of life. Again pharmaceuticals weren't bringing me healing, they just managed the symptoms and they didn't even do that very well. During this time I was introduced to essential oils and I am so grateful. Using the oils not only brought me freedom in my own health and well-being issues but I saw it dramatically impacting family around me. This started me on a journey deeper into holistic health, firstly as a Wellness Advocate with doTERRA before then fulfilling a dream to train as a reflexologist. Fascinated by the body from my time as an EMT, both the complexity of it and yet the simplicity to and feet, who would have thought they could hold a key to supporting your body in such an incredible way! Last year saw me add AromaTouch which combines essential oils, acupressure and light massage for a deeply relaxing treatment. Then earlier this year I began some further training as a massage therapist and can now offer you Swedish massage (currently as a student) everything from a full body treatment to a facial massage and all at a discounted rate. The body has an inbuilt ability to heal itself and all three treatments will help give your body the reboot it needs to be able to find its way back into balance. Give your body the support it deserves and book yourself a treatment either by calling/messaging me on 07815 126617 or visit the website www.lavendertreetherapies.com

Last week I turned 61 and today I submitted my 8 case studies to complete my Ayurvedic Clinician diploma. I have spent the last 18 months delving into learning about lifestyle practices and herbal solutions from the world of Himalayan wellbeing. I sat a 3 hour exam back in October and have spent the past 6 months writing health protocols for my case studies alongside my growing reflexology business. Who says age has to define us?
Just a few years ago I would have been expected to retire at 60 whilst now it’s 67 it’s still just numbers.
In many cultures age is revered because they recognise that you have so much learning from the life you have lived and they value you for it. Sadly in our culture you are generally put out to grass.
One of the many differences is that in this country we live with increasingly poor health as we reach retirement and we end our days unable to enjoy that learning. Instead these other cultures see longer life expectancy and they are often still living a full life into their 100’s.
Whilst some of this is diet much of it is mindset. So I am embracing a culture of learning, age is just a number.
If you are struggling with unexplained health issues or would just like to consider a more natural option DM me as I am currently taking on a few clients at student rates while I await my official qualification.

It is all too easy to take our health and wellbeing for granted until it is too late.
Now is the time to take control and put you first. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you could be doing today.
Many diseases have been laying down roots 15-20 years before you ever experience symptoms.
If you would like help in creating a healthy lifestyle naturally please drop me a DM I’d be happy to chat about how I can help.

Are you struggling with stress? April is stress awareness month and facial reflexology is incredibly powerful when it comes to regulating your nervous system.
But it isn’t just great for stress, it supports better sleep, calms anxiety, can improve the signs of aging and is incredibly relaxing.
Plus it helps in all the ways that foot reflexology can support your wellbeing and in a completely natural way by encouraging your body to what it does best…..heal itself.
Limited availability at Wenlock Wellness Space, Much Wenlock and West Midlands Wellbeing, Stourport. Other dates are available. DM for more information.

One of yesterday’s conversations with a client went a little bit like “is your shoulder bothering you? Oh yes it’s been quite tight! How about your neck? Yes that as well.”
When doing a treatment I can pick up imbalances in the body, sometimes you may not be aware of them other times you might. But with a little bit of extra attention I can help the body to rebalance and the clients neck and shoulder felt more comfortable by the end the treatment.
Behind the scenes your body is always working to rebalance and heal itself, reflexology gives it a helping hand 💖

For those of you struggling with raised blood pressure have you considered reflexology?
We often think of blood pressure support in terms of medication, diet, and exercise, and rightly so. But this study looked at something a little different: foot reflexology as an add-on.
In a randomized clinical trial led by Kotruchin et al., adults with stage 2 hypertension received a short, targeted reflexology treatment alongside their usual care.
What they found?
👉 A measurable reduction in blood pressure
👉 A decrease in heart rate
👉 Effects seen within just 30 minutes
This wasn’t a replacement for medical treatment, but it does point to reflexology as a useful complementary approach in managing hypertension.
It’s a reminder that small, non-invasive interventions can still have meaningful physiological effects.

Welcome to my business, Lavender Tree Therapies. Lavender Tree Therapies started with essential oils quite simply because they have brought me freedom and control over my own health and well-being and I want to be able to share that with others. I am now also practising reflexology, I am currently half way through my Level 3 training so currently treating as a student. I previously worked for Westcountry Ambulance Service as an EMT but following a back injury I left the job I loved. I love working with people and the body fascinates me so I wanted to be able to be able to combine the two.
Reflexology was one of the treatments that I discovered during my recovery and helped me cope with the subsequent decision I had to make in leaving the ambulance service. It encouraged my body to heal itself and helped significantly with the stress of leaving and the recovery from the toll working nights had taken on my body. It brought me a beautiful sense of calm and I had so much more energy. I am loving being able to now help other people on a journey to better health, helping to ease their stress and introducing more self care in to their busy lives.
What have essential oils done for me? I feel brighter and more energetic, I am no longer plagued with sinus, ear or chest infections requiring a double courses of antibiotics! My mental health is stronger, I am not constantly stressed, I am finally winning the battle with my weight and I am seeing huge changes within my family for using them to. I am learning a new way of life, getting back to the natural as much as possible not just with mental and physical health but also around the home replacing so many of my every day products.
What is an Essential Oil? It is a naturally occurring volatile aromatic compound found in the seeds, bark, roots, flowers and other parts of a plant. It is the plants protection against environmental threats as well as playing a role in plant pollination. Correctly sourced these intrinsic benefits along with the beautiful fragrances bring us a product that we can use for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They have long been used in food preparations, beauty treatments and health care practice.
Do you have health and well-being concerns that you would like to consider treating holistically? Do you want to be able to break away from the modern synthetic medicines and the constant invasion of chemicals into your home. I would love to chat to you about ways to make changes, about how essential oils could help you and your families or the benefits of reflexology. Please drop me a message and lets talk.
